Today's Gulfstream Park feature is an optional allowances going a flat mile for 3-year-olds and up, an event that seems to offer very little value because it appears to have Graydar's (6-5) name written all over it.
The Pletcher trainee broke maiden here in April but then disappeared for four months, clearly a concern.

But his return was good. He appeared a tad short of condition, whether it was physical or mental, he met a very talented New York Bred in Saratoga Snacks, the Empire Classic runnerup, and returned with a New Pace Top in that event. Now it's back to SoFla, where his debut figure was monstrous.

It's Majestic Man (10-1), however, that is the most interesting. Ridden by Johnny V. for Mark Casse, who saddled a winner yesterday, he's worked well for his second start after the trainer change--a profitable 19% proposition in that scenario, and he could fall into a good journey should Tiz Yankee (3-1) press the favorite, a very distinct possibility.

Taking Majestic Man to upset at 6-1 or greater and an exacta box with Graydar.

Good Approach JP. There was a lot of high expectation when Graydar returned huge disappointment when he lost. These types often don’t recover and should not be bet as favorites.
By the way, I have discovered the secret to your success. Rather than handicap, you look at the horse names in a race and figure out which can give you the catchiest title! It works! I haven’t yet figured out TTT’s key to fame and fortune. As for me, I just follow you guys!

Have you ever been hotter than 9 aborigines at a fish fry? This can’t go on much longer, or I’ll have to find a place to keep all the dough. Andy Serling, eat your heart out. Was very disappointed yesterday when 4-Atoned scratched, and was going to send a get well card; glad he’s O.K. He hasn’t won in a couple of years, and most probably has lost a few steps at 7, and if I had only one testicle, would only have to do half the scratching, which is a real plus. Anywhooooo, he is eligible to bounce back to his former self, and I’m not ready for divorce court, yet, especially with the potential settlement he may offer. I hope he lives up to his name today hot horse.
